Is there a bowl to talk about actual work? With agency spy gone and adweek killing comments, it's hard to find people talking about the good spots running and shit talking the bad ones. It'd also be nice to know who's doing what

There should be a work bowl

like

I can’t remember people really talking about good work on AgencySpy. I’d go there for tea about a specific creative leaving or going to an agency or people would make fun of spots.

Example: Another dance spot from CP+B? Again?!

I was going to mention Ads of the World but seems the comments on section has withered to nothing over the years.

Like someone said, you can occasionally find spots being discussed. Maybe starts a weekly trend in the Advertising bowl discussing a spot of the week or something.

Yeahhh it was mostly shit talk. Even about the good campaigns. I kind of miss the banter that was allowed with anonymity. "This is trash!" "Hey my best friend worked on this trash! Fuck you!" That sort of thing
